Isn't it just the DB7-based 'modern' interpretation of it.....from the company that builds those lovely DBR2 reps?

It's a modern DB7 converted to look (something) like a DB4GT Zagato ...

Not a patch on the original I'm afraid

It doesn't sit right. Look at the front rhs. I think it's a created in photoshop car. See how the pax door looks different as well.

I wasn't aware of that replica - having looked at it on the web, the angle shown is it's most flattering - the overall proportions just don't work IMHO. Dunno about any photoshop stuff - looks the same as the car on this site http://www.unfinishedman.com/evanta-tur ... gt-zagato/
